Ive is very influential, his boring ip5 design influenced me to buy a galaxy s3.
Hm, a JD power award, which includes design, given to the iPhone, several years straight I might add, begs to differ. But enjoy your toy spaceship!

Pretty sure Tim Cook will drive Apple into the ground unless their board wakes up and turfs him. All of Apple's current troubles can be attributed directly to him, he was the guy that saw Apple Maps app and decided, "yeah, its good enough to release" and then went on stage at a keynote and had the audacity to proclaim it was the most advanced maps app ever made.
When a CEO loses $300 in stock price in a little over a year, that IS the WORST CEO IN HISTORY.
Any teachers, nurses, librarians on this list? Bet they are way more influential than some iphone designer. What has he influenced? Maybe he influences samsung to make copycat phones, but that's not real creation. I think influential people influence people to CREATE for the common good.
So here is the list of the 100 owners/CEOs of companies that pay the most for ads in Time's magazine.
You're joking right?
I may be missing something, but...
- many laptops seem to look like MacBook Pros
- many tablets seem to look like iPads
- many smartphones seem to look like iPhones
- no other all-in-one comes close to the iMac's design
Sorry, but J. Ive is [one of] the best, whether you "get it" or not. (IMHO)
You're forgetting Ive's premiere product design that set all things in motion.... the iPod.
Wow I guess he's conned a lot of people then. Instead of getting a promotion, Cook should have given him the boot. I mean if someone else had his job we'd actually see innovation at Apple again.All laptops and phones look similar; the key difference is in the materials used.
I'll give credit to Ive for designing the Macbook, iMac etc ... but I will add:
* once one was designed, it was easy for the rest to follow suit.
* These products were designed some time ago; so what has Ive done since then?
* Even then, it was only a matter of 5 or 6 products
* Its easy enough to design a great product, but most kudos should go to the engineers who actually built these machines; its easy for Jobs and Ive to sit there shouting 'it must look like this and have this and that', but they didn't do the hard work to create the finished product!
* Ive could have made the iMac better by loosing the chin ... but he didn't; and IMO the design went downhill from the white iMac.
* Same goes for the latest iPod nano ... its a kids toy
* Then we have no Powermac
* A boring Mac TV
* No design upgrade on the iPod classic
* No new monitors
* Great iPad mini's yes ... but no retina
* No optical drives!!!
* ... and finally the iPhone which style wise died as soon as they moved from the iPhone 3 design!
If you sit down and think about it; design, style and innovation died a LONG time ago at Apple!
Meanwhile, others are copying Apple ... GREAT! I'm happy about that if it gives me a better product; and as we all know, its not as if Apple didn't copy or steal ideas themselves!!!!!
----------
Of course, and thats why Apple has been resting on its laurels for so long ... they've been taking inspiration from Ive!
Maybe I should draw a great product, get someone else to do the hard work and actually design and manufacture the thing, then take the glory for the next 20 years!!!!
